Drama in Grevenbroich: Fire brigade saves hundreds of sheep from blazing flames!

In the night from Wednesday to Thursday there was a dramatic fire in a sheep farm in Grevenbroich, which forced the fire brigade over several hours for an intensive effort. Numerous helpers worked tirelessly to save several hundred sheep that were in the affected buildings. At around 10 p.m., residents saw smoke and flames rising over the former military site, which immediately alerted the fire brigade.

The center of fire was in the Kapellen district. The head of operations, fire inspector Christoph Nott, immediately recognized the severity of the situation on arrival and quickly increased the alarm level. Under the conditions that the site was not connected to the public water supply, Nott brought further support units. His plan was to extinguish the flames and bring the animals to safety as soon as possible.

increase alarm levels and cooperation

The fire brigade reacted quickly to the threat by mobilizing several extinguishing and tank fire engines from other cities. A total of around 110 emergency services from different locations, including volunteers, were on site. The aim was not only to contain the fire, but also to monitor the air quality for the sheep so that no additional stress was added to the animals. An evacuation of the animals was avoided from a concern for their well -being.

To fight the flames, the firefighters used four C and two B pipes in a precise use. Despite these measures, the complex construction of the old military buildings was a challenge. The emergency services could not get safely to all fire spots. Therefore, the head of the operations decided to request additional heavy equipment of the technical relief organization (THW) to remove the debris and reach the foci.

around 5:45 a.m. the fire was finally extinguished, and the last emergency services were able to return after a hard night. The exact amount of damage and the cause of the fire are still unclear. Specialists from the criminal police have already initiated investigations to bring light into the dark. However, the fire brigade had no choice but to document and calm the situation. noreferer "> as localklick.eu reports .
